Lori’s aquatics classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays!
The staff is friendly and the facility is clean.
The best part of the Y—the people who go there and the instructors.
What's needed—more free weight. More classes that start at 6 AM.
Hi all, hope you’re doing well. I get a good job of being a part of the kingdom of heaven.
Variety of equipment abailable
The 2 ladies working childwatch were great. This was on a Wednesday at 9:30am when Childwatch opens. Felt that my child was safe with them!
Love the CentralY!
Clean, friendly staff, less people, more privacy
Close to home, courteous staff, and clean facilities!
I love the 10:00 class on Mon & Wed. but she has to miss sometimes.
I love playing euchre on Wednesdays.
I love it that the mgr. of the front desk crew went to the effort to go to the conference room to find my sweater that had been missing for a week.
He was the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and should be commended for a job well done!
Larger area to do abs maybe replace some of the benches in the free weight room. Other than that great gym!
I enjoy the variety of classes available, the user friendly egym, and the convenient 24 access. Not a fan of having to pay to park in the garage, so I usually only visit this location if there is street parking available.
The People. The Staff. The Classes. And the Overall Facility.
I use the pool for Aqua Zumba with Dora and Aqua Variety with Kate. I’m going on four years with these classes. The people in the class are great to exercise with.
Easy access, great location with plenty of parking cheerfustaff
Close and easy to use the facilities. I appreciate the shower water is nice and hot.
Everything!
I enjoy the water exercise class with Kate.
Cheerful attitudes and smiling faces.
Seems very organized, my daughter always has fun. Keeps me going to the gym even when motivation is lacking!
The membership desk staff are always pleasant and I am always greeted with a smile. Kara, the Silver Sneakers instructor is more qualified and knowledgeable than any instructor I’ve seen so far; including any at the Jorgensen Y. The Central, Y is the cleanest in the Fort Wayne area.
No judgement zone!
The best of humanity on display here!
The staff very friendly
The sense of family and community, the pleasant staff, and variety of fitness and relaxation areas through the facility.
The Central Branch Y is such a special place. It's a true "third place" with people creating community, returning to classes for years and developing bonds with their fellow classmates and teachers. It's within walking distance of downtown and the farmers market, and I know many folks who work downtown walk over when the work day is done. I can't imagine my life in Fort Wayne without the Central Branch Y.
The classes, friendliness of staff and class mates.
Very clean, very friendly.
Everything and friendly helpful staff
I visited the Central Branch yesterday - and it was a great experience. I am, however, a more consistent user (and board member) of the Caylor Nickel Y and I would like to share that I have noticed more unclean areas around the Y (dust in the gym, hair in the shower early mornings - as if never cleaned the night before, etc). I know our Y has big plans and I appreciate that! I also encourage leadership to remain focused on these little details in an effort to remain excellent. I've shared this concern with Thom, and do hope that Metro staff keep this in focus.
I appreciate the Y - thanks to all the staff and leadership.
